oth volunteering and working with Urban Ed, Inc. can be a very rewarding experience. We are an organization that looks for creative people that are committed to making a noticeable change in low-income minority communities and the individuals that live there.

Current Volunteering Opportunities:

• Mentors and Training Aides with Children
  Urban Ed's Lil Bitties program often requires one-on-one attention with our pre-k to 3rd grade children. From helping them through math and English using our fun and creative technology approaches to engaging them in art and computer science, volunteers in this program will find this truly dynamic. If you have just an hour or a couple of hours after school we need your help in building the academic performance of struggling disadvantaged children. Volunteers are needed between 3:30 pm and 6:30 pm.

• Mentors and Training Aides with Teens
  Youth within the District of Columbia's Public Schools (DCPS) system continue to face academic shortfalls. Urban Ed is now a vetted partner with DCPS and seeks volunteers to help us develop fun but challenging afterschool activities that will strengthen youths' career and workplace skills as well as academic skills. If you are strong in math, writing, like unconventional approaches to learning and/or enjoy watching teens ages 14-16 prosper we want you to join our team. Volunteers are needed at various times between 4:30 pm and 8:30 pm.

• Technology Trainers with Young Adults
  Urban Ed utilizes professionals from within the technology field to aid us in delivering training in our technology-focused programs. Trainers should anticipate being interactive and animated in their delivery. Our current areas of need include trainers to assist us with delivery on A+ and MCP training, help desk support training, networking and basic system administration, and the new Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) certification on Vista and Office 2007.
  
  Trainings are conducted either during the day, between 10:00 am - 2:00 pm or in the evening between 6:00 and 9:00 pm. If you have some level of tech skills or feel comfortable training and interacting with youth and young adults we truly need your help. You will gain valuable teaching skills and make a measurable difference in the lives of young people.

• Guest Speakers
  A key component to our technology training is our life skills component. During these valuable sessions we ask that leaders in the community from an array of disciplines come and provide insights, information, and motivation to our young people. If you are interested in being a guest speaker at one of our sessions, please give us a call. We are eager for positive role models to come in and deliver constructive messages to aid our youth in negotiating the many life challenges they face as teenagers and young adults.
